Touhou Luna Nights [Xbox One]
(Final normal y final secreto, tremendo juegazo de metroidvania, me encanta las mecánicas que maneja sobre el control del tiempo y atacar lanzando cuchillos y la jugabilidad tan buena
Me enteré que al momento que jugué esto, la batalla contra Cirno solo estaba en la versión de Xbox y Switch, así que supongo que tuve suerte de haber jugado esta. XD

Por culpa de este juego me hice fan de Touhou.)

cute short little game that excels in gameplay, sound and aesthetics (also u play as a girl which instantly makes it goated)... sakuya as a character is really cute and the knife abilities she has are so so fun to mess around with
its just about the perfect length, if it goes on any longer without more abilities or challenges etc it would have gotten old; but as it stands its just about perfect
towards the end (dlc area) the enemy's are more designed to be annoying than an actual challenge (purple aura ghosts) which is disappointing only to meet the goats of touhou in a boss fight that dare i say rivals ds1 artorias battle-wise
its a good game!! i wish i liked metroidvanias more

Luna Nights is absolutely stellar, probably the best metroidvania I've ever played. The elements are light, as most backtracking is just to acquire unnecessary stat upgrades. I actually appreciate this though, as it cuts down on monotony and put the focus on puzzle-solving and combat - which it greatly excels at. You play as Sakuya, a maid with the ability to manipulate time by slowing it, or stopping it completely. The game stays true to its bullet hell roots, especially in the phenomenal boss encounters. They really throw everything at you to balance out the power differential your time powers create. Having to juggle your time, health, and mana creates a fun gameplay loop that encourages you to take risks to recover them. This is the second time I've played through this game. The first being before the bonus level was released, and it's just as good as I remember. All this, and I haven't even mentioned the gorgeous pixel art and awesome Touhou jams that play throughout the game. I only have a two small issues with the game. One, towards the end they send a few too many spongey mobs at you, but they are at most a mild inconvenience and easily ignored. Two, you can get the ability to sprint in the bonus level, but it's a double tap input. The sprint is never necessary, and misinputting every now and then hurt me more than it helped. In the end, it's a short time, but damn if it isn't a good one.
